"I'm also the director in charge of the entire Cloudflare Workers org, almost 80+ people at this point. I'm not just an IC engineer who has to find time to justify continuing to work on this. I can literally put people on it, and I've already been talking to the team about how to do exactly that." -Steve Faulkner

It's wild. If I need to steal someone's code, I just need to let an ai crawl it and it'll regurgitate the same thing. I can't wait for it to recreate marvel movies.
I think this framing is wrong. we have to learn to accept that it's not stealing. It's a new world where it's fair use and we don't know how to deal with it.
If we accept this then we can do something about it. Without it no one will heed us.
I understand your point, but at some point someone needs to think about morality.
If you or I copied and reimplemented nextjs in a better way, it doesn't feel as wrong. But when a large company does that and then brag about it, it's in poor taste.
Especially pointing out one developer and 1000 usd of tokens replacing the efforts of hundreds of talented developers. There's people on the other side of the screen.
